Free immunizations available for Newark children

NEWARK — To make sure all Newark children receive the immunizations they need to begin school, the city has kicked off its annual "School Bus Express" program.

Children participating in the program for the first time must bring a copy of their immunization record, a parent or guardian's identification and proof of residency, such as a current utility bill

Immunizations will be provided 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, through Sept. 14 and 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Sept. 13 at the Department of Child and Family Well-Being, 110 William St.
